TEN REASONS
FOR REFUSING A JOB COUNTER OFFER
1. What type of company do you work for if you have to threaten
to resign before
they give you fair market value for your skills.
2. Where is the money for the counter offer coming? Is it your
next raise early?
(All companies have strict wage and salary guidelines which must
be
followed).
3. Your company will start looking for a new person at a lower
salary
price, immediately. The wheels are in motion to replace you, ASAP.
4. You have now made your employer aware that you are unhappy.
From this day
on, your loyalty will always be in question.
5. When promotion time comes around, your employer will remember
who was
loyal, and who wasn't.
6. When times get tough, your employer will begin the cutback with you.
7. The same circumstances that now cause you to consider a
change will
repeat themselves in the future, even if you accept a counter offer.
8. Statistics show that if you accept a counter offer, the
probability of voluntarily
leaving in six months or being let go within one year is extremely
high. National
statistics indicate that 89% accepting counter offers are gone in 6
months.
9. Accepting a counter offer is an insult to your intelligence
and a blow to your
personal pride, because you know that you were bought.
10. Once the word gets out, the relationship that you now enjoy with
your
co-workers will never be the same. You will lose peer group
acceptance, and
forever be that defector who was bought back!
